A REVISED TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO TRAVEL PLANNING: Sick of computers, ticking boxes and feeling like a number? We connect in person, on the phone, talk through items and a get a true sense of who you are as a traveler and are there every step of the way. That is deeper than just a transaction. We hope to hear from you and find you a seat at the Jen Mitchell Travel table to explore the world, together!

Eva Perry

Embark on a journey with me to craft extraordinary tales and indelible memories through the art of travel. With years of immersion in the realms of hotels, destinations, and entertainment: I've traversed the globe, cherishing moments of discovery in new places, savoring diverse cuisines, and cultivating fast friendships along the way.

Known among my peers as a discerning "hotel connoisseur," I appreciate the epitome of luxury – from the fluffiest pillows to the most delectable dishes and the serenity of exclusive spas. Yet, I'm equally drawn to the allure of sleeping under the stars, awakening to sunrise vistas known to only a select few. These contrasting experiences leave enduring imprints on my mind, forming the narratives I'm eager to share.

My own travel journey around the world continues with my lifelong travel companion, my husband, and our two children who bring an enriching dynamic to our world adventures. We place immense value on experiences, collecting memories that outshine material possessions. As we navigate the intricate puzzle of family travel, we aim to craft multi-dimensional experiences that linger in our collective memory.

Having visited so many corners of the world myself, I've explored exciting niches that beckon you to discover your ideal escape. Let's unravel the possibilities and pinpoint the destination that resonates with you.

Luxury Travel Advisor
Ashley Carter

Ashley has been in the travel industry for about 3 years, but travel has been embedded in her soul since she was a young girl.  During her younger years in school, straight A’s and good grades had always been rewarded with big family vacations as the end of the year. In high school, she was able to attend school led study trips that brought her overseas to Ireland and England. And in college, she took study abroad semesters in New Zealand, Ecuador, and the Galapagos Islands.

Having had these amazing opportunities, Ashley made it her mission to travel as often and as much as possible!  When she moved to FL in 2007 from NJ, it only took her 2 years to change careers from working in the animal science field.  She found herself working on private yachts traveling all over the East Coast US, spending countless months in the out islands of the Bahamas, and a crazy journey thru Central America and the Panama Canal.

Over the recent years, Ashley began to realize what she could offer as travel advisor and what the travel industry could offer her and she hasn’t looked back! It is her goal to instill the wonder and passion of travel in others as she has been blessed.
